TW Terrorism, death If you were alive on this day 20 years ago, how old were you and what do you remember? If you werent alive or were too young, share your parents/relatives experience of 9/11 if youd like.

I was 8 years old. I don’t have any memory of the event,

My dad was watching live tv as it happened but thats the closest link to the event , he did also visit one of the buildings before it happened

i was born 4 months after it happened. My mom doesn't talk about it so i'm not sure what it was like for her. My siblings were 5, 9, and 12

I was 4 so I didn’t know much about what happened until I was in middle school

I was 5, I dont remember much of the actual event unfolding, but I remember so much of the fear and uncertainty surrounding and following it; my parents trying to explain and trying to process something so huge and terrible.

I was in 7th grade 20 years ago My core teacher had the radio on

I was two months old but my mom told me how she saw it on the news

I was 14. I remember getting ready for school (I live in Australia) and we heard something on the radio so then we turned the TV on to see what was happening.

I was 6 years old. I remember getting ready for school and going to my mom’s room while she got ready too. She had the coverage on TV. When she took me to school, a teacher on duty stopped us and told us that school was cancelled so we went home.

I was 6 and I remember it happening and remember how scared I was because I knew Los Angeles was a big city so I feared we were next. Stayed traumatized for a while after that.

I was 7 and in school, didn't know anything about it until my dad picked me up in the middle of the day. At the time he worked in DC and people sometimes forget the Pentagon was also attacked in addition to the WTC. Luckily he was able to leave DC and the attack planned on the Capitol Building didn't succeed.
